Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Asked my fraternity for support at our meeting tonight. I will probably make a couple hundred cookies whether I get some friends/kind folks to help me out with buying dough and stuff- but it'd be nice to have my brothers show their support of my nerdiness

Saturday before PAX = long work day for brigadier bakers. Ransim, you're gonna get the entire convention going on a sugar high!

We got 200 combustible lemons done - they're a sandwich cookie this year, and I did NOT skimp on the cayenne. Gets ya right in the back of the throat. Also 200 Star Wars sugar cookies, and about 2 dozen Weighted Companion Cookies with the Portal cookie cutter set from ThinkGeek.

Okay, I just have to post this because it's hilarious. One of JobiWan's Crunchy Frogs:
"Don't eat me, bro!"

Tomorrow is the Day of Baking Reckoning for me. I'm making two oft-requested faves, Rice Krispy Treats, and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (No nuts for the nut-haters). Also! Lemon Zest Madeleines sprinkled with powdered sugar for those of you who are pretentious, french, fancy, or all of the above and want something to dip in your coffee. All of these things will be gluten-free, vegan, and delicious.

I have VERY sad news. After attempting to get some friends/family to donate, purchasing dough and other necessary components, putting about 50 cookies in the oven on 3 different pans, and waiting around for the timer to tick....... I witnessed the tragic grease-fire-esque-something-was-wrong-oven-got-super-hot-and-died death of my oven. That was a few days ago, and I still can't cook anything because the oven ignores the temperature dial and goes straight to the hottest it can get. So my cookie contribution has been lost in the crunchy-burnt-smokey massacre of 2012.
Raise a cookie in remembrance of my recently deceased oven! His life was filled with pizza and cookies, and he died with a maw filled with cookies, the way all ovens should go.

2 dozen specially baked geeky cookies for @renetty, who won the Solid Saints auction. And because she's awesome.

...(how the hell am I going to pack all this!?)

Oh no, I'm sorry MASeffect! =( =( You tried though, and that is awesome! No worries, we'll have a fun time at PAX: and if you're interested, you're welcome to join me on the front lines Distributing! Believe me, it's a lot of fun! =)

So I managed to make a couple batches of gummy space invader candy. I'm going to be bagging them shortly, but like the Root Beer candies they will be very rare drops that you'll need to come fight me specifically for. So if you want root beer hard candy or gummy space invaders keep an eye on my twitter @ransim. There are about 50 bags of root beer candy but I imagine there won't be many bags of the gummy candy I wasn't able to make a whole lot.

Hi, I just registered on the Cookie Brigade site. I'm making matzoh brittle for a family dinner that I'm skipping, so I figured I could easily quadruple the batch and make some for Child's Play. For those who have not had the pleasure of having sampled matzoh brittle, it's matzoh topped with homemade caramel (butter + brown sugar + vanilla) and chocolate. Now I just need to think of a good name for them...

I am finishing off between 4 and 5 dozen plain old chocolate chip cookies. I am planning on making another 4-5 dozen Cadbury Mini Egg cookies tomorrow. Hopefully will have time for a batch of fudge and one other candy, plus whatever my wife makes.

I would like to nominate MASeffect's oven for a medal of honor, since it died in service to the brigade. Maybe we could wear black arm bands or something...

Hello! I am new to the cookie brigade and to forums. I'm having a hard time navigating the forums to find out the when and where to drop off my cookies. I have 15 dozen cookies and want to hand them over asap! Can someone more savvy than I point me EXACTLY where I need to go to find out this info? Am crunched for time to get ready, and don't have the time to spend hunting for the info. Thx so much!
